The present work gives a critical survey of all the verbs that may have existed in Proto-Iranian as deduced from the attested Iranian descendants and their archaic sister language, Sanskrit. This is accompanied by an analysis of the morphology and assessment of the provenance.
The Iranian group within the Indo-European language family consists of languages that were and are still spoken in Western and Central Asia, among which Persian, Balochi, Kurdish, Pashto, Shughni and Ossetic are the best known today, and Avestan, Old and Middle Persian, Parthian, Bactrian, Khotanese, Sogdian and Choresmian in the past. This work aims to bridge the gap in knowledge that exists between Indo-Europeanists and scholars of Iranian languages with regard to each other's fields.

Abstract
The present study discusses the differences in usage and meaning of the originally Middle/New Persian present participles in -andag/-andeh and in -ān respectively. They are illustrated by ample material cited from Manichaean & Pahlavi sources (in the case of Middle Persian) and the epic work of the Šāhnāmeh (concerning New Persian). Formally, these participles reflected the Old Iranian active (-andag/-andeh) and middle (-ān) voice/diathesis. The later Persian distribution of the participles in -andag/-andeh and -ān respectively appear to be semantically marked and linked to the Old Iranian employment of the active and middle voice.

Abstract
This study presents a new, systematic treatment of the Pashto continuations of the Old Iranian vocalism. The analysis is accompanied by an assessment of the etymology of the Pashto forms mentioned in George Morgenstierne's Etymological Vocabulary of Pashto (EVP) and its postumously revised New Etymological Vocabulary of Pashto (NEVP). This contribution has also implications for our understanding of the historical morphology, notably the case system, of Pashto.
